The Met

I’m walking distance to the Met*
So when I’ve time to spare,
I take a stroll and see whatever
Might be showing there.

Of course, I check out new displays
But I will not depart
Before I pay a visit to
My favorite rooms of art.

I’ve seen them all a hundred times
But always they surprise,
Providing such a rare a wondrous
Banquet for my eyes.

My zip code has no ocean views;
No mountain vistas lurk.
Proximity to masterpieces, though,
Is quite a perk.
